“On the Jayanti of our inspiration, Dr. Syama Prasad
Mookerjee, BJP’s membership drive will begin. I will be joining the programme
in Kashi to mark the same,” he said.

He will address party workers, besides unveiling a statue of
former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri at the local airport, said a party
functionary. The prime minister will also launch a tree-plantation campaign,
“Anand Kanan”, in the temple city.

Modi will address around 5,000 party workers at Deendayal
Upadhyaya Trade Facilitation Centre in Bada Lalpur, where he will launch the
membership drive and facilitate some of the party workers.

It will be Modi’s second visit to the constituency after
winning the Lok Sabha elections. PM Modi had visited his constituency on May 27
to thank people for keeping faith in his government.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Governor
Ram Naik will receive the prime minister at the Varanasi airport, along with
BJP working president J P Nadda and Union minister Mahendra Nath Pandey.

Sharing the details of the BJP’s membership drive, its
vice-president Shivraj Singh Chouhan said the party has set a target of adding
minimum 20 per cent more workers in its current strength through this drive,
which will conclude on August 11. Anyone can become member by giving a missed
call on a mobile number or by filing a form, Chouhan said in a statement.
Defense Minister Rajnath Singh will participate
in the BJP’s membership drive programme in Jaipur, BJP chief and Home Minister
Amit Shah in Hyderabad and Union Road Minister Nitin Gadkari in Nagpur.
